Jordon Hudson’s painfully awkward interruption of a recent Bill Belichick interview was captured on camera, though it has emerged that she was even more disruptive than the footage shows.
While Belichick, 73, was doing an interview with CBS Sunday Morning to promote his new book, Hudson (who was sitting off-camera to the side) curtly shot down a question from Tony Dokoupil about how she and the legendary football coach met.
‘We’re not talking about this,’ said Hudson, who was described as ‘a constant presence during the interview.’
Now, TMZ has reported that Hudson, 24, at one point stormed out of the interview – delaying shooting for around 30 minutes. Hudson reportedly wanted Belichick to leave the room with her, and Dokoupil is said to have been ‘spooked’ by the overall experience.
Hudson reportedly intervened on several other occasions during the interview, even when eight-time Super Bowl winner Belichick was talking about the familiar subject of football.
Furthermore, CBS producers were said to be befuddled that Belichick arrived to the interview with no one from his book’s publishing company or UNC, while a planned second interview was ultimately canceled.

CBS executives reportedly got involved in the final edit of the interview, with the inclusion of the awkward Hudson moment seemingly a very intentional decision by the network.
ProFootballTalk had previously reported as well that Hudson interrupted the interview several times, which caused the network to include one example of her shutting down a question.
The interview furthers the narrative that Hudson is playing an increasingly large role in Belichick’s professional life.
An email previously publicized by The Assembly showed that Belichick asked for her to be copied on all emails sent to him by UNC staffers, while The Athletic – citing an open records request – reported that her email signature lists her as ‘the chief operating officer of Belichick Productions.’
Records show that she does not have an official contract or employment agreement with UNC.
Nonetheless, Pablo Torre Finds Out previously claimed back in February that she was working as Belichick’s ‘de facto agent,’ and had used her growing influence to be included in a Dunkin’ Super Bowl commercial alongside the coach.
There were other awkward moments during the interview as well, as Belichick was asked about his relationship with Patriots owner Robert Kraft, whom he spent 24 seasons with before they went their separate ways in early 2024.
Belichick said the split was ‘mutual’, while Kraft previously told the Breakfast Club that the coach was ‘fired.’

Either way, Kraft was not mentioned at all in Belichick’s new book, ‘The Art of Winning,’ and Dokoupil grilled him about that fact in what turned out to be a painfully awkward moment of television.
‘Twenty-four years together, six Super Bowls – unless I’m wrong, he’s not in this book. How come?,’ Dokoupil asked.
‘Well again, it’s about my life lessons in football and it’s really more about the ones that I experienced directly,’ Belichick responded.
Doukoupil then shot back: ‘He’s not even in the acknowledgements section.’
‘Correct,’ Belichick shrugged.
The coach also took issue with his departure from New England being described as a firing, as he twice repeated: ‘It was a mutual decision.’
